Abstract

A semiconductor test apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a stage on which a wafer is to be mounted; a pressurizing wall disposed on a surface of a probe card opposing the stage, extending toward the stage, and having an opening; a mark disposed on a lower surface of the pressurizing wall opposing the stage; a probe disposed in the opening; an air tube to force air into the opening; a detector to detect first spacing between a tip of the probe and the mark; and a controller to control second spacing between the wafer and the lower surface of the pressurizing wall based on the first spacing, wherein, when an electrical property of each of chips of the wafer is measured, the second spacing is controlled to be predetermined spacing by the controller, and the air is forced into the opening through the air tube.
